The Jewish Voice for Peace Rabbinical Council has come together to speak out on behalf of justice for all peoples in the Middle East. A fast growing network of rabbis, cantors and rabbinical students, we support each other through bi-annual in-person gatherings, in our Mentorship and Support Program, and ongoing consultation.
We create ritual materials and alternative Jewish liturgies for JVP, and provide support for JVP members, chapters, and campaigns. If you are a rabbi, cantor or a rabbinical or cantorial student interested in joining, or to send the Rabbinical Council a message, email ilana.lerman@jewishvoiceforpeace.org
